Because the two parties were very familiar.
So Hanako told her story to Zhenye and Zhenye's mother.
After Hanako finished speaking, she sighed heavily, "Alas, youth is capital. I originally thought I was quite young, but compared to Yefeng, I am ultimately old..."
"Enough, Hanako, a full stomach doesn't understand the hunger of a hungry woman."
Zhenye's mother said angrily.
Hanako's face flushed with this retort.
Zhenye's mother was the same as Hanako.
Her ex-husband had also gone out saying he wanted to become a Pokémon master.
Then he never returned, and no one knew where he died.
So seeing Hanako like this, Zhenye's mother also felt a pang of longing.
Thus, Zhenye's mother leaned into Hanako's ear and whispered, "How about, next time, I borrow Yefeng too? I also want to experience what it's like to be in a wheelchair."
...
Yefeng took Rayquaza to the villa where Yu Dengjiazi lived.
As Yefeng had expected, Yu Dengjiazi was very happy to see Yefeng and recounted what she had been doing over the past few months.
And then came the enthusiastic activities.
Yefeng and Yu Dengjiazi were active on the third floor.
The Poké Balls containing Yefeng's Red-Striped Pikachu and other Pokémon were placed on the first floor of the villa.
In the dead of night.
Four Poké Balls suddenly emitted red light.
Red-Striped Pikachu, Rayquaza, Squirtle, and Shiny Gengar all came out!!!
Although Pokémon could perceive their surroundings inside a Poké Ball, they could not leave it without a trainer's command.
The only exception was Wobbuffet, owned by Jessie of Team Rocket, who could do this.
In short, it was very rare.
Even though Yefeng's four Pokémon were all extraordinary, only Red-Striped Pikachu could achieve this.
The other three could not.
And once Red-Striped Pikachu came out, it naturally released the others as well.
Upon coming out, the three Pokémon stretched their limbs and instantly felt much more comfortable.
It was also fortunate that Yu Dengjiazi's villa was particularly large, otherwise, it would not have been able to accommodate Rayquaza.
Red-Striped Pikachu was currently sitting on a large red sofa.
It stared at the other three Pokémon with a grim expression.
Rayquaza seemed very sleepy and, upon coming out, lay on the ground to sleep.
Squirtle took out a whetstone in the middle of the night and sharpened its claws with a 'kaka' sound.
As for the Shiny Gengar, it was staring at Red-Striped Pikachu.
Shiny Gengar: 'Pikachu bro, why are you looking at me?'
Red-Striped Pikachu was silent for a moment: 'Have you guys felt anything very strange recently?'
Squirtle: 'Pikachu bro, what is it?'
Red-Striped Pikachu: 'It's that the power we gain from eating other Pokémon has decreased.'
That's right.
Because Red-Striped Pikachu could freely enter and exit Poké Balls,
when Yefeng and Hanako and the other women were exercising,
it would sneak out to hunt other Pokémon.
Because of this, it discovered that for some time now, the power it gained had decreased.
And not by a little.
It felt like it had decreased a lot.
If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have asked the other Pokémon.
But Squirtle and Shiny Gengar exchanged glances and said, "No, we feel about the same as before. However, now that you mention it, there was indeed a time after which the power we gained suddenly decreased."
That was when Yefeng changed the initial 1:9 split to 6:4.
However, they were unaware of this matter.
'Is that so?'
Red-Striped Pikachu was confused about what was happening.
Little did it know that it was working for Yefeng, its boss, under a profit-sharing system.
It wondered if its body was reaching its limit?
Could it only gain this much power?
Was it impossible to continuously become stronger?
'Then Yefeng?'
'Is he like me? Does his body have a limit? But why do I always feel like he's much stronger than me?'
Although Red-Striped Pikachu was just a Pokémon, it possessed intelligence comparable to humans.
After more than an hour of thinking,
it felt that Yefeng seemed to be a paper tiger.
That's right.
Red-Striped Pikachu had always felt that Yefeng was stronger than it.
It just felt that way, having never personally challenged him.
It didn't dare to take the risk, because it knew Yefeng's temper.
If it dared to rebel and still couldn't defeat him, it would surely be made into a snack.
'The power we gain is by eating other Pokémon, which was bestowed upon us by Yefeng. He himself also said that he needs to eat Pokémon to gain power.'
'But he eats much less than I do.'
'And if our bodies all have a limit to their growth, then a human body could not be stronger than our Pokémon bodies, with a higher limit.'
'Furthermore, he and I have never fought, I just feel that he is stronger than me.'
Red-Striped Pikachu's thoughts raced.
Suddenly, it looked at Squirtle and Shiny Gengar again.
These two guys were not comparable to ordinary Pokémon.
If it ate them, the power it gained would certainly be a little more than from ordinary Pokémon.
Then, would it go and settle accounts with Yefeng?
Red-Striped Pikachu's head ached.
For now, it was best not to act rashly.
Because if it moved against Squirtle and the others, it would be a complete break with Yefeng.
But if that were the case, its previous idea of a physical limit would be wrong.
Because different Pokémon, when eaten, yield different amounts of power, the stronger they are, the more power is gained.
But if, according to its previous thought, there was a physical limit,
then eating a Magikarp and eating a Gyarados should yield the same amount of power, right? Since its body could no longer withstand more power.
Forget it, it couldn't figure out what was going on.
At this moment, it scanned Squirtle and Shiny Gengar.
Although these two guys always called it "Pikachu Big Brother,"
it knew that neither of them was to be trifled with.
They were much more cunning and cruel than Rayquaza.
They were merely feigning weakness.
'If I could really kill Yefeng, who in this world could stop me then?'
'At that time, the world would be mine, Pikachu's!!!!'
...
Yefeng stayed at Yu Dengjiazi's place for a long time.
It was about a month.
And with three months left until the Silver Conference,
Yefeng bid farewell to Yu Dengjiazi.
The reason was not other, Yu Dengjiazi, like Hanako, could no longer hold on.
Then Yefeng flew to Johto's New Bark Town.
He wanted to find Professor Nanae.
But he learned that Nanae had already left and was conducting research in the Sinnoh region.
There was no other way.
He had to go to the Pokémon Center in New Bark Town.
As it was the starting town, there were always many trainers.
"Yefeng? You're here?!"
A Nurse Joy rushed over as soon as she saw Yefeng.
Brock was indeed formidable, able to distinguish every Nurse Joy.
Yefeng, relying solely on his eyes, couldn't tell them apart. He would have to rely on his nose to identify them.
Their scent.
Everyone had a different scent.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't smell this.
Only those with extremely sensitive noses could distinguish them.
Yefeng recognized the Nurse Joy before him.
It was the Nurse Joy sister from Bugsy Forest, with whom he had privately pledged his life.
"You listened to me and transferred here?"
Yefeng looked at her and asked.
"Yes."
The Nurse Joy sister's eyes bloomed with joy.
If it weren't for the crowd at the Pokémon Center, she would have wished to rush into Yefeng's arms.
"Feng, can you wait for me after work?"
The Nurse Joy sister said, blushing.
"Yes, of course."
"Then why do you want me to wait for you after work?"
Yefeng chuckled mischievously.
The Nurse Joy sister's cheeks were flushed red.
"After I get off work, I'll take you to my house, and my sister will tell you."
Sister Nurse Joy was the cute girl who had first asked Yefeng for an autograph.
